GRAWITA: VLT Survey Telescope observations of the gravitational wave sources GW150914 and GW151226
E. Brocato, M. Branchesi, E. Cappellaro +49
We report the results of deep optical follow-up surveys of the first two gravitational-wave sources, GW150914 and GW151226, done by the GRAvitational Wave Inaf TeAm Collaboration (…
Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger
E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81
The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…
Electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational wave candidates: perspectives in INAF
S. Piranomonte, E. Brocato, M. Branchesi +18
The electromagnetic (EM) emission associated with a gravitational wave (GW) signal is one of the main goal of future astronomy. Merger of neutron stars and/or black holes and core-…
